AUDIO MONITOR

 — 

HI-FI

/HI-FI L/HI-FI R/NORM/MIX

This VCR can record two sound tracks simultaneously (normal and 
Hi-Fi) on a Hi-Fi stereo tape. You can select the sound track(s) to 
listen to while playing back a Hi-Fi stereo tape. In addition, when 
playing back a prerecorded tape containing two separate audio 
programs on the Hi-Fi tracks, you can choose either one by 
selecting either “HI-FI L” or “HI-FI R”.

HI-FI

: Normally select this. Hi-Fi sound is played back.

HI-FI L

: Sound on the left Hi-Fi channel is played back.

HI-FI R

: Sound on the right Hi-Fi channel is played back.

NORM

: Sound on the normal track is played back.

MIX

: Both sounds on the Hi-Fi track and normal track are mixed 

and played back.

NOTES:

While playing back a monaural tape, sounds on the normal 
track will be heard regardless of this setting.

If RF connection (

pg. 5) is used for viewing pictures on the 

TV, sound will be monaural even though you select “HI-FI”.

You can also use the 

A.MONITOR

 button on the Remote to 

select the desired monitor sound. (

pg. 9)

S-VHS MODE 

 ON

/OFF

You can determine which recording mode — either S-VHS mode 
or VHS mode — is used for recording on S-VHS tapes.

When this function is set to “ON”

, you can record on S-VHS 

tapes with S-VHS picture quality.

When this function is set to “OFF”

, you can record on S-VHS 

tapes with VHS picture quality.

NOTES:

S-VHS mode allows you to make high quality video recordings 
with horizontal resolution of 400 lines, comparing with the 230 
lines of resolution of conventional VHS recordings. To achieve 
the highest quality picture we recommended to record in S-VHS 
mode. (But remember that a conventional VHS VCR without 
SQPB cannot play back S-VHS tapes recorded in S-VHS mode.)

S-VHS MODE setting does not affect recording on VHS tapes. 
Recording on VHS tapes is always performed in VHS mode 
except when using S-VHS ET mode (

pg. 15).

AV COMPU-LINK

 — 

ON

/OFF

The remote PAUSE/AV COMPULINK terminal on the rear panel 
can be used as either the remote PAUSE terminal or the AV 
COMPULINK terminal.

When this function is set to “ON”,

 you can use this terminal as 

the AV COMPULINK terminal. By connecting other JVC’s AV 
COMPULINK components, including amplifiers (or receivers) 
and televisions, one touch control of the audio and video 
components linked via their AV COMPULINK connectors 
becomes possible.

When this function is set to “OFF”,

 you can use this terminal as 

the remote PAUSE terminal. If your JVC camcorder is equipped 
with the Master Edit Control, you can control the VCR from the 
camcorder. Connect the mini-plug cable (not supplied with this 
VCR) between the remote PAUSE terminal and the EDIT 
connector on the camcorder.

NOTE:

Refer to the other components’ instruction manuals for connection 
and its operations.
